Which radars cover Waverly?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHPX (Fort Campbell, KY), about 52 miles north-northeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Waverly	View
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	52 mi north-northeast	3,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KOHX Nashville, TN	69 mi east	5,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KPAH Paducah, KY	87 mi northwest	7,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
